Score at the Hejfina sale! I bought...A.P.C. 70's jeans (but in a lighter, more 70s shade) & A.P.C. striped top (but in a light beige color); both were essentially half off!!Plus I found a fabulous pair of Charles Jourdan wedges, and 70's purple patterned button up from Crossroads. Today was a good day (:
